Survivor Philippines: Engrish, Anyone?
X-posted from my Multiply. :) Enjoy. XP
So I've been stalking around some of the more popular GMA7 blogsites, and I stumbled upon this, the blog for the upcoming reality series, Survivor Philippines. Since it's GMA7, it's guaranteed to be a hit (sorry for all the non-Kapuso out there: I'm telling the truth), but the potential contestants seem to be a little gramatically challenged. XP
Here are some excerpts from blog comments, errors and all:
Next comes Michelle C. Tado, who almost seemed to me to be serious about this with her lengthy comment. Nevertheless, she says, "I could say that this new challenges will help to an individual to become more resourceful,flexible in doing things which is hard." Doing hard things certainly does need flexibility. :/
She continues, "I really want to join in this competition because I want to know what I can do more.To experience how to be independent,to prove to my family that I can do things better rather than judging me all the times…I will do this for my Family even though they treated me not so good.." Not so good, eh? What makes you think that Survivor would accept someone like you all the times?
Elizar Managay seems to have a firm grasp of the Philippine setting when he said, "I do believe that with this reality show, we will prove again that we are not just a residue squeeze out from an asian country but as a human race with different kind of DNA to prove in the entire world. count me in I’ll be in the audition dates." No, Elizar, you're the squeeze out: mag-Tagalog ka nalang, tsong. And if you want to have different DNA, be my guest: they're looking for the first genetically modified human. Who knows? You could have six legs like those GMO chickens. It would definitely help you win.
Ramiel H. Flores, on the other hand, sticks to pure brawn: "Wanna be one of my challenger?????Grrrrr!!!!!!" No thanks, I'll pass. Grrrr right back at you.
Leanderson T. Alon has a flair for stating the obvious: "I want to be the first survivor because i have what it takes to be the first Pinoy Sole Survivor." Captain Obvious to the rescue!
Mayonick B. Caoayan not only has a unique name, but a similarly unique way of expressing his thoughts: "yes!this is my wildest dream to be a part of this reality shows and i”d been waiting for this in a long decade,this the time for me to know my real deep personality in my life," Need I explain more?
Jennifer Ortega finds this opportunity to make friends. She concludes her comment, ". kita kits guys sa audition.. god bless us po add me po friendster.." followed by her e-mail address.
Last but definitely not least is "Dadams", who summaraizes everyone's aspirations in one sentence: "LET’S SEE WHO IS BE THE FIRST PINOY SOLE SURIVOR"
Well, I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. XD There are waaaay more on the site itself. Check it out for a few laughs. ^^
Of course, a lot of those who attempted to use (or abuse) English did write commendably. Praise them for not making us more of an international laughingstock. Still, laughing at others' mistakes is more fun. XD
